This acquisition expands ITWP's existing footprint in the digital market
research industry, as ITWP has been the sole shareholder of Toluna
since 2011. Harris Interactive Europe blends sector expertise with
award-winning research designs to deliver tailored solutions to clients
seeking strategic input. Toluna operates the world's largest global
social voting community, and couples this global respondent access with
transformative data collection, reporting and visualisation products.

Petit states, "Across Europe, Harris Interactive, is a well-respected
provider of digital market research services with cutting-edge
methodologies, and Toluna is revolutionising market research through a
combination of world-class technology, innovative approaches and
seamless real-time access to millions of consumers. Leaders in their own
right, there are opportunities for both companies to enhance current
offerings to clients. ITWP will continue to invest in the growth and
success of both Toluna and Harris Interactive Europe, which will operate
as separate entities servicing their own clients."

Nielsen has owned Harris Interactive Europe since February 204. As part
of the purchase by ITWP, Nielsen will become a minority shareholder in
ITWP, and has separately entered into a mutual strategic cooperation
agreement encompassing access to Toluna global panel, as well as, its
world-class technology.

"Nielsen is delighted to have found the right home for Harris
Interactive Europe within our strategic partner, ITWP, which through
Toluna, will give us the ability to collaborate on market research
technologies as well as digital data," says Itzhak Fisher - EVP of
Global Business Development at Nielsen. "Nielsen, Harris Interactive and
Toluna have been collaborators and customers of one another for many
years and we look forward to our continued relationship."
